The beatification for Blessed Stanley Rother on Sept. 23, 2017, was a day of great joy for the people of Oklahoma, and for Catholics around world, as we celebrated the first U.S. born Martyr of the Catholic Church. Servant of God Stanley Rother became Blessed Stanley Rother at the Mass of Beatification that was held at the Cox Convention Center in downtown Oklahoma City. With Pope Francis’s personal representative, dozens of bishops, hundreds of priests, and thousands of lay faithful in attendance, the beatification ceremony will be known as one of the largest events in the history of the Catholic community in Oklahoma.
